~ Under the Covers
This is my second Suzanne Wright book and I’m jumping series. I read the first in the Feral Sins and I thought it was mehhh, good but just ok. So I thought instead of continuing that series I would try another one. I picked up BURN and while I had some of the same issues as with the previous book I read, I also enjoyed this one a bit more.
This series is more about demons and our heroine finds that her “fated mate” in this case called an anchor is one of the most powerful demons in existence. I was surprised by how much I liked Knox because he can come off strong. But that goes without saying because of his position and power. I was expecting to find Harper annoying or bland, and the surprise was that I actually liked her.
The thing that stands out about this book is the politics. There’s a ton of politics and world building around that. If you are into paranormal stories heavy on that as the main story arc and conflict, then you’ll enjoy this. I find that intriguing but I wanted a better balance with the rest of the story. It made for a boring story at times and made me want to skim some.
One thing I noticed too late after I had started reading this, is that the series centers around the two main characters in this book. So we don’t get to see a new couple with each installment. I am not sure I’m invested/interested enough to read 4 (so far?) books about Knox and Harper, and would’ve loved to see some of the secondary characters in this one getting their own book so we could get to know them better.
In the end, this was an enjoyable read. Suzanne Wright seems to write great world building and I think that’s one of the best bases for a good paranormal story. I’ll have to think about continuing but most likely I’ll at least give book 2 a shot.

I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!
I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.

Thanks for the review, I enjoyed this book and need to finish the series but had been waiting for them all to be released on audio. I’m currently listening to Consumed by Suzanne Wright the 4th book in her Deep in Your Veins Series.
I don’t like when a book makes me feel like skimming parts of the story.
